Problem Solved!
After refusing to take the carbs out I tried a few more things.
Checked the vacuum system, checked for fuel when unscrewing the carbs drain bolts, etc... Nothing looked out of the ordinary.
Finally when I had things back together enough to start the bike I ran it in PRI (prime) mode on the petcock to see if there was any improvements. It seemed to get a bit better. So I started playing around with the hosing while it was just idling. I disconnected the second hose that comes out of the petcock (goes to the california emissions crap) and wallah! It came right back to life!
I really don't understand this as I had disconnected this hosing and inspected it when I took the tank off but for some reason while it was running when I disconnected it it solved the problem.
I'm ok with it. Beats taking the carbs out of the bike.
